I am particularly interested in this one because it includes a section on the physiology of aging, which I think is useful for those outside the death investigation field, as well. The course is [...]

March 13, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Medscape has an interesting CME article about social media use in their Emergency Medicine section that I thought was worth a mention.
